It was a voting system with three 52.76 receivers surrounding the L.A. basin (for us locals, on Palos Verdes, Oat and Johnstone) plus one at the actual voter site, all linked down the voter on 420. A 439 link went up to Mt Wilson, where the actual 52.525 transmitter was (it's now on 52.50 out, 52.00 in).
I think I still have my ex-Orange County Fire PT200... F1 is still 52.76 / 52/525, and F2 is 525 simplex. The HT200 on the same frequencies developed a leaky coupling cap between the IF stage and the input transformer inside the PermaKay IF filter, and melted the input transformer winding (eighty- two gage wire can't carry much current). Moto claimed that they didn't warranty PermaKays any more, despite my faxing them a 1960s catalog page on them showing the lifetime warranty, and my pointing out that the radio was still in service, therefore it was still within its service lifetime. Didn't wash with Mother Moto. I gave the remains to a gentleman who needed a HT200 stretch case. As far as the callsign? It was W6ZOI then, and still is (one of the LARA club calls).
